Wondery teams up with Monica Lewinsky for her first podcast

Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky is a new interview-based weekly podcast series hosted by the activist and anti-bullying advocate, television producer and Vanity Fair contributing editor.

In her first-ever podcast, Lewinsky has conversations with known names, everyday people, experts and friends about what it means to reclaim what has been lost or taken from them.

Each week, Monica will explore the practical, personal, and often messy ways that people find their way back to themselves. She has often been at the centre of a story told by others, but now, she continues finding her own public voice with this new podcast.

Throughout the series, she will draw from her own transformative experiences, offering an insightful take on her personal journey after enduring one of the most infamous political scandals of our time.

Early guests will include actor and writer Alan Cumming, tech journalist and author Kara Swisher, actress and activist Olivia Munn, actress and writer Molly Ringwald, singer and songwriter Joanna “JoJo” Levesque and author Anne Lamott, among others.

Monica Lewinsky says: “These are meaningful and surprising personal conversations through the prism of reclaiming.

“Whether it’s the Sisyphean task of redefining a co-opted narrative, re-recording a music catalogue to reclaim ownership, decluttering a physical space to find freedom, or even a small moment of choosing peace over escalation in a personal argument, the way people reclaim utterly fascinates me.

“Reclamations can encompass loss, grief, resilience, grace and ultimately triumph. And if you’re lucky, there’s some humour along the way to grease the wheel!”

Marshall Lewy, Chief Content Officer at Wondery adds: “Monica Lewinsky is one of the most universally recognised names, and Reclaiming is the next step in her incredible journey to transform her public narrative.

“From the very first time we met; Monica has had such a refreshingly clear vision of what this show wants to be. Audiences are going to discover every week what we have enjoyed in making this show: that Monica is a seeker with a truly unique perspective, who happens also to be disarmingly smart and funny.”

Reclaiming With Monica Lewinsky launches on 18 February, with new episodes available early and ad-free on Wondery+.

Listen and watch every Tuesday on Wondery+YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
